Red Oak (Texas) safety Warren Roberson hasn’t been completely off the radar of major programs until now, but his recruitment is starting to heat up in a hurry.

In the past 72 hours, Missouri, Boston College, LSU, Alabama, Nebraska and Florida State have all extended offers to Roberson, one of the country’s fastest-rising defensive backs. Those six join more than a dozen other programs already involved his recruitment.

Roberson is the No. 468 overall prospect in the 2023 class, according to the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He ranks as the nation’s No. 45 safety and the No. 80 junior in the state of Texas.

The Industry Comparison shows On3 is drastically higher on Roberson than the other three major recruiting services, though. In the most recent On300 rankings, he checked in as the No. 142 overall prospect, No. 11 safety and No. 28 Texas prospect.

His film has jumped off the page to On3 Director of Scouting and Rankings Charles Power, who raved about his skills in February.

“Warren Roberson is one of the top two-way players in Texas, in our opinion,” Power wrote. “He has one of the better combinations of top-end speed and ball skills we’ve seen in the 2023 cycle. Roberson plays receiver and corner for Red Oak. He accounted for 686 yards and six touchdowns on offense, while also nabbing four interceptions. Roberson shows top-end play speed and ran an 11.0 second 100-meter dash as a sophomore.”

SMU is considered the current leader in his recruitment, according to the On3 Recruiting Prediction Machine (RPM). But if the past few days are any indication, he will be among the most heavily pursued prospects in the country over the next eight months.
